Bloomie rushing term limits bill through

Whatever Ronald Lauder does, Mayor Bloomberg plans to rush through a bill this month to permanently amend term limits, sources said today.

"They're really fast-tracking it because of the mounting opposition," said one insider.

A one-page bill that would change the terms of all elected city officials from eight to 12 years was introduced today in the City Council as opponents swarmed City Hall, denouncing the move as a "power grab."

Public hearings were scheduled hurriedly for Oct. 16 and 17. A vote is likely on Oct. 23.

This is where revolutions begin and despots are deposed. Ask the question. Are you to become a willing accomplice in the demise of true democracy, or are will you fight to preserve it. The people have spoken twice. This is the last act of a desperate man. Qudos to QC for becoming the true voice of the people, whatever their point of view might be.

"This is the fresh new media where truth is spoken (unfettered) not where lies are printed or broadcastby the team of Bloomberg and Murdoch!"

Oy gevault! God help us all if that is the case. I'll just continue to read from as many different press outlets as possible, form an opinion...and then post my bitchings here.

Bottom line, let Bloomberg do whatever he wants. For disclosure's sake, I think he is the best to deal over the next 4 years until I see otherwise. If you don't like the term limit stuff, simply vote him out in the primary. If that doesn't work, vote him out in the election.
